II. Governance Matters
A.
Board Meeting Update
Paul Baker provided an update regarding the latest Board meeting
B.
Board Composition
The current Board composition and anticipated term end dates were reviewed in detail.
C.
By-Laws Update
The focus of the meeting was on the By-laws update.
Several members provided their detailed comments.
Chris Riegle had comments regarding the checklist distributed earlier, and he went through all of his feedback throughout all of the sections.
Both Cindy Canavan and Kay O'Dwyer provided their input on several of the areas covered.
The Governance Chair section was reviewed in detail.
The final decision was to present the updated language to the Board, allowing some flexibility for either a Board member or non-Board member to be nominated for the Chair position depending on the candidate chosen by Governance.
However it was agreed there would need to be a Board member on the Committee to provide representation to that body.
The group agreed that additional review of the checklist would be needed to ensure all of the items were completely addressed.
